is dancing bad?

[GansitoMarinela]

who thinks that going to dance clubs is bad or a sin?.....personally i don't see anything wrong in it. i mean, as long as you don't go to a place where people are getting high, drunk, and freak dancing...well, that's just my point of view....what's yours?

 

[morningstar2651]

Well...going there isn't going to break any commandments.

What is this "freak dancing" you speak of?

 

[MissSarah8884]

Well, I definetly think that at a club and enviornment is set where there is a lot of sexual tension and all that bumping and grinding never lead to positive things. I don't think that people really think on what is pure and true and right in a club setting.

I think dancing in a club is fine. I've never actually danced in a club, so perhaps there are aspects of it I won't enjoy: what if I want to dance half an hour and then want time to recuperate? What if I'm dancing innocently in my corner, and I suddenly find myself "invaded"? What if I get bored there?
I was going to go to a club with a friend of mine, a guy, who loved dancing and that way we would have been able to do our own dancing in the corner, encouraged by the other, but then it didn't work out...

Dancing with a partner---doing some type of ballroom dance--is good and healthy. It is good, clean, fun and hard work---and it forces you to dance as a team and look at each other!! Go to a ballroom dance class and find out how much fun it is!!

 

[VioletAngel]

I personally would not go into a club or bar. However, I've been dancing at Christmas parties held by the employers, or wedding parties, and such. That is okay for me. I enjoy dancing, as long as it is wholesome styles.

I believe that God cares about the motivations of are heart.



If you are going to a night club just to dance; you can find another out let, hopefully in a Christian environment. That would be much safer.



If you are going to the night club to find your life's partner, I don't believe this is the best place to find that person. As a Christian, we would be better off trusting God and allowing him to lead us to the right person.



I am 36 years old and when I was in my 20’s, I used to go to night clubs all the time. My experiences in these places where only either very dangerous, or very sexual. Before I was saved, my motivation for going to the night clubs was to try to find a man. After I was saved, I found out that God had a better plan for me & that I would have a very hard time finding a man of God in a night club. And in my early 20’s, I made the decision that I only wanted a man of God.



Most of the people in the night clubs are just looking for intimate encounters and a lot of them don’t have any respect for God.



My advice would be if you want to find a place just to dance, go to a Christian party or put one together with your church leadership. The environment would be much safer and that's what God cares about, your safety.



God Bless,

What if you were just wanting to go someplace to dance and have fun?

Also, what would you say if it was a Christian nightclub?

I believe that a Christian night club would be a better place to go and dance because in a Christian night club, they should be playing praise music. And, the bible says that God inhabits the praises of his people. So if God is there in the music, then we should be there also. But if God is not there in the music, then I would not go!

I believe that we attract negative forces to ourselves through dancing and singing negative music.

Just think about it, and be careful.

Written in love...

Dancing should be generally fun. Personally I'm not to sure about the club scene now a these days.

If you go to a club its better if you go along with someone that you know and enjoy their company.Ie friends /colleges or family members.
Safety in numbers plus you have more fun.

and if you go make sure you take with you a bottle of water.1. you may need water straight away from dehydrating on the dance floor.

2. You can never tell what your really drinking in the dark. the glass may not be clean and Beware of people spiking drinks

I know what you're saying. I love to dance, and my husband and I (we're both young and hip!) used to go to clubs and dance just with each other. The environment is always permeated with sexuality, and for awhile, I thought it was ok because we were married. But then I started to wonder how I would feel if some of the girls I work with in the youth group were to seem me there, or my own little ones?

Now we ballroom dance, and it's just as fun. Even though we're the younges ones there! I would much rather be in a wholesome, smoke-free environment eating good food and learning a cool salsa step than watch some guy grope a totally stranger in a dark, loud room.

OOo, that was funny!

I don't think dancing is a sin as long as you don't break any rules and you are having fun. I love to dance but I do not do it so well.

 

[FireKame]

How about dancing at let's say prom, or a formal dance like that?
I didn't dance a few years ago (I got asked as a freshman! Okay, bragging rights over) with my date because the lyrics to the song really bugged me, and I hurt his feeling. We left early before any decent songs came on.

And I still feel really bad about all that, but now I'm afraid to go to any dance because of it, incase I hurt someone else. I guess it's the lesser of two evils, hmm; hurt his feelings and don't dance to dirty songs, or dance to dirty songs and get in trouble with God.

Don't worry about hurting anyones feelings.
We must gaurd our hearts. In other words, Proverbs 4:23 says,
"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Be careful of what goes into your heart.

Hopefully, whoever your date will be mature enough to understand.

God Bless,

Im going to have to disagree with all and say its WRONG most of the time in my opinion.. the only time it is okay when its christian pure joy in front of God and with your husband/ wife. Even then it must be pure and controlled.
The reason is simply it puts in evil emotions and lust develops.

Dancing puts nothing but Joy in my heart!

Even when I'm dancing just to have fun or to exercise, dancing brings me nothing but JOY! .



Because my heart is pure when I dance, I do not have to worry about dance developing lust in my heart! The Holy Spirit has taken lust (that is to say, out of control sin) out of my heart and has put love, peace and joy in its place!



1Tim 1:15: To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure;



Dance in it self is not sin.

Dancing with a sinful motivation is sin!
For example, dancing for the purposes of:
Adultery & fornication these things are sin according to the bible.
Also, dancing to celebrate the murder of someone is sin.



Dancing to celebrate life is not sin.
Dancing at someone’s Birthday Party, Wedding, dancing for exercise or just dancing around the house because you are happy, this is not sin.



I believe Jesus danced just to celebrate life.
Jesus danced at his barmizfa, at Hanukkah, at weddings, ECT...
If he did not dance at these events; the people of his community would have been offended. Dancing to celebrate life is a part of Jewish culture. And, Jesus was a Jewish. So he danced as a form of celebration.


So dance and celebrate life! God will celebrate with you!

Just keep your motives pure.

I've never heard of a Christian dancing club.

I'm sorry your life is sheltered.
I've only heard about Christian Night Clubs on the radio.
I've never been to one myself.

Although, I have seen video's of Christian Comedy Clubs.
They look like fun.

 

[skilltroks]

I so want to go to a Christian Night Club. I wish one was near my city. <---maybe I'll just have to search. I start my tap dance lessons next Saturday-so excited!
